Hypothetical example

Baseline vs Post-Loss Trades

Baseline: 40 trades, 24 wins, $4,800 winning P&L and $2,400 losing P&L creates +$2,400 net and +$60/trade expectancy.

After 1 Loss: 24 trades, 12 wins, $2,040 winning P&L and $1,800 losing P&L creates +$240 net and +$10/trade expectancy.

After 2 Losses: 18 trades, 6 wins, $1,080 winning P&L and $2,160 losing P&L creates -$1,080 net and -$60/trade expectancy.

Method

Estimated Post-Loss Performance Gap

(Baseline Expectancy - Post-Loss Expectancy) x Post-Loss Trades

In the hypothetical example, the gap after 1 loss is ($60 - $10) x 24 = $1,200. The gap after 2 losses is ($60 - -$60) x 18 = $2,160.

Definition

What Is Revenge Trading?

Revenge trading generally refers to taking trades influenced by a desire to quickly recover a previous loss. Historical trade data cannot directly prove motivation, but it can show whether behavior and results change after losses.

  • Lower expectancy, lower win rate or larger average losses.
  • More frequent trades, larger size or shorter time between trades.
  • Lower-quality setups or trading outside planned hours.
Consecutive losses

Why Two Consecutive Losses Matter

One loss may not materially change behavior. A sequence of losses can affect patience, trade frequency, sizing, setup selection and decision quality.

  • Do not assume a universal rule like always stopping after two losses.
  • Use your own historical data to check for post-loss deterioration.
  • Compare NQ, MNQ, ES and MES separately where possible.
